According to NFL.com, McDermott edged out Ravens coach John Harbaugh and 49ers head man Kyle Shanahan. The Bills second playoff berth in three years since he's been head coach, the incredible defense, his 10-4 record didn't hurt, and the fact that he was winning with a young quarterback was a big help too. NFL.com excerpt... Coach of the Year: Sean McDermott, Buffalo Bills With a 10-4 record and a second playoff berth in three years secured, McDermott received seven votes to edge out Ravens coach John Harbaugh (5 1/2) and 49ers head man Kyle Shanahan (five). "They've played really good defensively," an NFC personnel director said of the Bills. "He's winning with a young quarterback -- they're kind of winning because of the quarterback, too. I just think they have an identity. The team knows who they are. Isn't that 90 percent of it?" An NFC executive made the case for Harbaugh based in large part Jackson's success: "Just what they've done with that offense, totally changed their philosophy for one player, is pretty amazing. Just to have the nuts to do it. Most coaches wouldn't even draft the guy because he doesn't fit or he wasn't good on the board. Not only did they take him, but they changed everything so he would have the ability to have success. And it's paid off." Shanahan's 49ers are tied atop the NFC West at 11-3. Mike Tomlin (3 1/2 votes) also has some strong supporters, with the Steelers staying in the hunt at 8-6 despite losing QB Ben Roethlisberger to a season-ending elbow injury in Week 2. Receiving one vote each: Green Bay's Matt LaFleur, Houston's Bill O'Brien and ... Miami's Brian Flores, who is 3-11 in the first season of a ground-up rebuild. "Winning any games with that roster deserves recognition," an AFC personnel director said. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000001089417/article/nfl-execs-pick-awards-whos-mvp-dpoy-coach-of-the-year 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sundancer Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 (edited) Congratulations to McD for sure. I have to also give a nod to Flores. I see a team heading the right direction there culturally. Give them all the picks and in 2-3 years, that might not be a team anyone wants to play.

If your owner is trying to tank for Tua, and your head coach figures out a way to win some games after your GM trades away your top talent, is that every going to win your owner's vote as a Coach of the Year?

BisonMan Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 (edited) All I heard Sunday was how Tomlin was the coach of the year and a few "Sean McDermott is doing a great job too". I guess McD went into Pittsburgh and stole a win and Tomlin's award on the same night...just like a Renegade Go Bills and congrats to Coach McDermott.

Logic Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 The title to this thread is a bit misleading in my opinion. It is true that in an informal inquiry, McDermott got the most votes. That doesn't mean he was actually named coach of the year or given any kind of award. The actual vote for coach of the year won't be officially held or announced for a little while yet, and no decision has been made at this time. 1 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heitz Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 (edited) Was already a thread and debunked - this is not THE Coach if the Year award. Still, nice to see McD recognized, but... In fact there are TWO other threads on this. Search bar or just, ya know, scroll down before you post peeps...
